Get Fists of Plastic for free via US PSN News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PlayStation 3

Offer available for a limited time only.

Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic is now available to download free of charge from the US PlayStation Network.

That's according to the US PS blog, which says all you have to do is visit the Sprint channel to get access.

A SCEE spokesperson confirmed to Eurogamer the deal will not be available on the European PSN. However, you could always be a bit cheeky and set yourself up with a US PSN ID over at PlayStation.com.

Fists of Plastic didn't do so well with the critics, scoring 6/10 on Eurogamer. Still, you know, free.

I really don't get why these kinds of promotions aren't global - particularly as it's so easy to create an account in different regions

I already have the game via a friend's PSN login, but he asked me to deactivate the account so I've not been able to play it for a while. Not a bad game, but I am DLing it again because you officially can't argue with free.

I was going to ask what the heck is sprint to but someone has answered it.

Do you just go to the american store and download as normal, cos it says you have to visit sprint to get it?

Thanks

There is a Sprint page under new releases on the US PSN store, Rag Doll Kung Fu is in there. You don't have to do anything else with Sprint.

Yeah, it's dead easy to do this; there's a link on the US PSN main page, and you don't need to subscribe or do anything except DL it for free. It's not a bad game, but would be much better if you play local multiplayer a lot. You can play the game on your UK account, so long as you don't delete the US one. Might as well keep it anyway, since the Yanks sometimes get demos and stuff we don't, anyway.

@ Coin-op - have you even played this game? Aren't you one of those massive 360 fanboys?!

The trouble PS3 is in I doubt they will ever do that to anyone, besides it makes them look good all those "different" users on JP/EU/US PSN....

As for the game. Nice it's free and all, but it won't be staying on my drive, it's a bit poo really. Still thanks for the freebie Sony.

I think he meant the bit about "is account Sony's T's & C's", Chuck. Do pay attention.

Right, cos it made no sense did it...

For those of you that have trouble understanding, creating a US or JAP PSN account is AGAINST Sony's terms and conditions.

To quote Sony themselves

'The action of creating Non-EU PSN accounts

is a violation of PSN Terms & Conditions.'

How they police this, I have no idea.

I know I could make an American account but...

ffs Sony you bunch of numptys.

I gave my kids my 360 when I got the PS3, since then I've been witness to the sodomy that Sony puts on the Europe market. I keep longing for my 360 back when this crap happens, rant, rant, rave, rave, blah, blah, blah...

Piss poor!

Stop scaremongering Voodoo...
I set up my US, HK & Jap accounts the week after I purchased my PS3 on Release day. To this day I have not received a message or threat from Sony regarding the status of any of the accounts.

If you want to play this game just go ahead and Download it everyone.

Truly a horrible game.

It's difficult to recommend even for free as a dull beat em' up because of the awful motion controls which amount to spastically jerking the controller around.

Perhaps Sony figured they would earn a fortune from people replacing dropped and broken Dualshock 3 controllers.

I don't get people saying this game is crap, are you playing alone or something?
Don't bother with this if you don't have friends or multiple gamepads since the singleplayer is kind of lame. However it is so much kickass once you have a few people over and everybody got hang of the controls.

Cool video of some guys playing who knows seems to know the moves pretty well:

Someone living in the US may very well ask (if the situation was reversed) "what the hell is Orange" ?

Since the promotion is run by Sprint, an American company, it might explain why this isn't available across all regions!
